Hey thanks for these. We didn't get it down here in NZ, AFAIK, and I was keen to see something of it.

Saw it from top of a hill at Newlands Corner, Surrey in the UK.
There were other folks from the Guildford Astronomy Club with all sorts of telescopes altho as the poster says in his feature, you dont need fancy equipment to see this rare phenomenon. You can make high quality but inexpensive solar filters/eyeglasses yourself (http://www.baader-planetarium.com/sofifolie/sofi_start_e.htm)
or use a projection method like the poster suggests or check out http://www.solarscope.com/.
